Pic Special: De Jong's First Day

New signing Luuk de Jong took part in his first training session as a Newcastle United player on Thursday.

The Dutch international striker, who has arrived on loan from Borussia Monchengladbach until the end of the season, joined his new teammates in their preparations for Saturday's Tyne-Wear derby against Sunderland at St. James' Park.

Snapping the best of the action at the Club's Benton-based Training Centre was Club Photographer Serena Taylor.
